HIGHLIGHTS: *
OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IS MEDIATOR OF THE NEW COVENANT,THE KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS, THE SOLE SPIRITUAL HEAD OF THE UNIVERSE.

IN THE SKY, IS NOT EVEN IN YOUR BEDROOM, HE IS NOT FOUND ALONG THE ROAD, NEITHER IS HE FOUND IN SOME STRANGE PLACES, GOD IS FOUND WITHIN YOU. HE LIVES WITHIN YOU. It is on this note
that when the Pharisees wanted to know from Our Lord Jesus Christ about the coming of the kingdom of God and
the form it will take, Our Lord Jesus Christ told them that:"THE KINGDOM OF GOD COMETH NOT BY OBSERVATION, NEITHER WILL MEN SAY LO HERE, OR LO THERE, FOR BEHOLD THE KINGDOM IS WITHIN YOU."
* IF SOMEBODY COMES TO TELL YOU HE IS GOD, DO NOT
BELIEVE HIM, IF HE TELLS YOU HE IS JESUS DO NOT BELIEVE HIM.*** WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO IS TO SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES AND SEE IN WHOM THE BIBLE PROPHECIES AND SIGNS HAVE BEEN FULFILLED. SEARCH TO ASCERTAIN WHOM THE BIBLE HAS SPOKEN OF, WHICH HAS BEEN MADE MANIFEST IN THIS LIFE. THE BIBLE IS THE ONLY REFERENCE POINT THAT WILL GUIDE YOU PROPERLY. YOU SHOULD REALIZE THAT WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ACADEMIC ATTAINMENT, ACADEMIC KNOWLEDGE, IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE STATURE OF A HUMAN BEING. IT HAS TO DO WITH THE SPOKEN WORD, THE PROPHECIES AS LAID DOWN IN THE SCRIPTURES. * To whom does this portion of the Bible refer? Was the

garment of Our Lord Jesus Christ dipped in blood? clothed in garments dipped in blood. When the people of the world ask you where the name of Leader O.O.Obu is written in the Bible, refer them to this statement. It is said that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every matter is established. Read from the book of Isaiah Chapter 63, verses 1-5: * WHO IS THIS MAN?
MY GARMENT REVEALS MY DEITY. BUT WHO IS THIS MAN WHOM THE BIBLE SPEAKS ABOUT FROM GENESIS TO REVELATION? ONE THAT IS "MIGHTY TO SAVE AND HE IS CLOTHED IN RED GARMENT? HE IS NO OTHER THAN LEADER O.O.OBU. HAVING KNOWN ABOUT THIS NEW NAME AND THE TRUTH SURROUNDING IT, WHY DO YOU CONTINUE TO EXPRESS DOUBTS? IN THE WHOLE WORLD, IT IS THE NAME OF LEADER O.O.OBU ALONE THAT IS MIGHTY TO SAVE. IT IS THE ONLY NAME FOR WHICH ALL OF GOD'S CREATION, INCLUDING THE ANGELS, SPIRITS, DEMONS, MERMAIDS,THUNDER, AIR, FISHES, ANIMAL, TREES, ETC. MUST BOW TO. * GO AND TELL THE WHOLE WORLD, INVITE THEM TO COME AND SEE THE ONE THAT WAS WRITTEN ABOUT, THE ONE CLOTHED IN VESTURE DIPPED IN BLOOD. * He said:"If I do not go away, the Holy Spirit will not come. But, if I go away, the Holy Spirit will come and teach you, and lead you to the accurate knowledge of the truth."
FROM THE TIME OF ADAM UNTIL NOW, HAVE EVER HEARD OF A MAN WHOM PEOPLE DO NOT SEE IN FLESH BUT IMPLICIT FAITH AND CONFIDENCE IS EXPRESSED IN HIM? I AM REFERRING TO A MAN WHO REMAINS IN A PARTICULAR PLACE BUT HE IS SEEN UNIVERSALLY.
EVERLASTING GOSPEL:
point, God speaks with you and He tells you what you have to do. And if you abide by God's directives you receive your salvation. You have been told that one servant cannot serve two masters. A lot of you have been here in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star for forty years but your period of forty years is fruitless. It has not availed you anything because the trouble you create around you makes it impossible for you to receive the word of God. You seek God in the moon, the sun, on the high seas and in the Atlantis, you seek God through all other places, have you found Him? GOD IS THE WORD, HE IS NO OTHER BEING EXCEPT THE WORD. We in Brotherhood understand this fact, which is why we are unique among other believers in the teachings of Christ. This is also the reason you have been told that Brotherhood is not a church, not a service center, not a prayer house, nor a community nor a nation. Brotherhood is not any of the things you conjecture it to be. BROTHERHOOD IS SIMPLY THE KINGDOM OF GOD WHERE RIGHTEOUSNESS IS TAUGHT AND PRACTICED. Many of you sing but as long as you do not concentrate on the words of the song, you cannot understand the meaning of the songs you render. So many of you offer lengthy prayers in the hope that you will be connected to God. You do not know that in so doing you are cut off from what is relevant, and you have lost touch with reality and with God. This practice cannot afford you anything because you cannot pray very well. GOD'S KINGDOM IS LIKE THE MUSTARD SEED: Also when the Gospel is being delivered, many of you engage in noise making, gossiping, some of you read books and in the process ,you miss out on gospel, for you cannot hear what is preached, let alone understand it. And because
of this you cannot experience God and know Him. Our Lord Jesus Christ did compare the kingdom of God to the mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds, but when it falls down and germinates, it grows into a mighty tree, and spreads its branches across space, and all the birds of the air come and settle upon it and make their nests on the branches. Many of you are of the view that the Word of God is very difficult to practice, but have you even heard the word of God in the first place? We have one spiritual song which says:"TAKE THE WHOLE WORLD AND GIVE ME JESUS." Now with the rate at which you lust after the things of the world: money, cars, husbands, wives, etc., can you really know God to able to practice His teachings? If you remember what that woman said to Our Lord Jesus Christ, that Blessed is the womb that bare thee and the paps that gave you suck, and the response of Our Lord Jesus Christ, then you will come to a better understanding of what I am telling you. Brethren, I have to give this as the first witness for this gospel, so that you will understand the great and unsurpassable power which is founded in what we are telling you, and equally know that your refusal to hearken to these teachings is the cause of your downfall. FIRST BIBLE WITNESS: LUKE 11:27-28 And it come to pass as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked. BUT HE SAID, YEA, RATHER, BLESSED ARE THEY THAT HEAR THE WORD OF GOD AND KEEP IT. GOD'S ABODE: Have you heard what the scripture says? Of what use is
it if you come here to testify for three hours without really making sense, WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING WHERE YOU ARE AND WHAT THE TEACHER IN YOUR MIDST IS TEACHING? Some of the interpreters even interpret what I say out of context. If they can do this, what of those of you in the congregation who cannot comprehend what is said. Would you say you have realized your objective of coming here? THE GOD YOU ARE SEEKING AFTER IS NOT
FOUND IN THE SKY, IS NOT EVEN IN YOUR BEDROOM, HE IS NOT FOUND ALONG THE ROAD, NEITHER IS HE FOUND IN SOME STRANGE PLACES, GOD IS FOUND WITHIN YOU. HE LIVES WITHIN YOU.
It is on this note that when the Pharisees wanted to know from Our Lord Jesus Christ about the coming of the kingdom of God and the form it will take, Our Lord Jesus Christ told them that:"THE KINGDOM OF GOD COMETH NOT BY OBSERVATION, NEITHER WILL MEN SAY LO HERE, OR LO THERE, FOR BEHOLD THE KINGDOM IS WITHIN YOU." Let the first lesson be read. FIRST BIBLE LESSON: JOHN 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth and the life: no man cometh unto the Father but by me. JESUS CHRIST IS THE WAY: One of the spiritual choruses says Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. INVARIABLY, THE WORD OF GOD YOU ARE HEARING IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. BUT IF YOU CANNOT PRACTICE IT YOU ARE JUST LIKE THE PERSON WHO HAS NOT HEARD IT BEFORE. THIS IS WHY I KEEP ASKING YOU TO ALWAYS BE ATTENTIVE WHEN YOU COME HERE, BECAUSE IF YOU ARE NOT GUIDED BY THE
WORD OF GOD THAT I GIVE YOU DAILY, YOU CANNOT ACHIEVE ANYTHING. You can recall the case of the Ethiopian Eunuch who was reading the scriptures from the book of Isaiah on his way from a ministry and he was riding on his chariot. He met with Philip who after listening to what he was reading asked if he understood the scriptures. The Ethiopian Eunuch said that he did not understand. Philip then got on board and showed him a lot of things. He explained and expatiated on the scriptures to the Ethiopian Eunuch who listened attentively, assimilated those teachings and along the way, accepted what Philip explained. As they continued on the journey, they came across a body of water and the Ethiopian Eunuch said to Philip, "Behold there is a body of water, what stops me from being immersed or what does it take to baptize and Philip asked if he believed in God? And whether he believed that Jesus Christ is the son of God. The Ethiopian Eunuch said,"I do believe, baptize me." and Philip offered him a helping hand and they descended from the chariot, went into the water and got baptized. After the Ethiopian Eunuch was baptized they went their separate ways. BRETHREN, IT IS DISHEARTENING TO NOTE THAT RATHER THAN COME HERE TO RECEIVE THE WORD OF GOD, YOU HAVE TURNED THIS PLACE INTO A MARKET PLACE WHERE YOU ENGAGE IN WORTHLESS AND MEANINGLESS ACTIVITIES AND AS A RESULT OF THAT YOU LACK CONCENTRATION AND YOU CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHAT IS PREACHED TO YOU, WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT IN YOUR LIFE. AND THESE ARE THE ACTIONS THAT MAKE PEOPLE CONCLUDE THAT BROTHERHOOD IS NOT USING THE HOLY BIBLE WHICH THEY KNOW. THEY SAY THAT
BROTHERHOOD IS USING SOME STRANGE BOOKS TO MAKE REFERENCES AND THAT HER GOSPEL IMPINGES UPON THE WRITING OF THOSE BOOKS WHICH ARE STRANGE TO THEM. BUT I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND THAT ALL THESE OBSERVATIONS ARE MADE BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE REFUSED TO CONCENTRATE ON THE GOSPELS THAT ARE PREACHED TO THEM, AND AS A RESULT THEY CANNOT KNOW THE WISDOM OF GOD THAT IS EMBEDDED IN THESE TEACHINGS, AND ALSO THEY FAIL TO KNOW THE IMPORTANCE OF THE GOSPELS IN THEIR LIVES. Let the second bible lesson be read. SECOND BIBLE LESSON: JOHN 18:13-15 Howbeit, when the Spirit of truth is come, he will guide you into all truth; for he shall not speak of himself, but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak. He shall glorify me for he shall receive of mine and shall show it unto you. All things that the Father hath are mine, therefore said I, that he shall take of mine and shall show it unto you. THE BIBLE IS THE REFERENCE POINT: Brethren, have you heard the second lesson? Everything in this world has its roots in the Bible and this explains why Our Lord Jesus Christ said that when the Spirit of truth is come, he will guide you into all truth, and reveal everything unto you, whatever he has spoken, and that is what has happened. Now has that Spirit not come, and has he not taught you everything? This is why members of other churches always marvel at the depth of your wisdom and understanding of the scriptures, especially, your ability to explain and expatiate on the scriptures.
Brethren, the scriptures contain everything about the world and its operations and the practices of man, wherever man is found. That is why Andrew told his brother to:"Come for behold, I have seen the man of whom it was written about." Why did he do that? HE DID THAT BECAUSE HE SAW SOME SIGNS THAT SYMBOLIZE THE MANIFESTATION OF THE PERSON OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. On this note, I want you to understand that the scriptures embody a lot of things about this life and the life to come. They contain information about the world and its operations, its people, their cultures and practices. On this note, you do not need to ask people questions, you do not have to draw fallacious conclusions, you do not have to be in a hurry. ALL THAT
YOU NEED TO DO IS TO OBSERVE THE SIGNS SO THAT NOBODY WILL TELL YOU THAT HE IS GOD, HE IS CHRIST, HE IS THIS OR THAT.
IF SOMEBODY COMES TO TELL YOU HE IS GOD, DO NOT BELIEVE HIM, IF HE TELLS YOU HE IS JESUS DO NOT BELIEVE HIM.*** WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO IS TO SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES AND SEE IN WHOM THE BIBLE PROPHECIES AND SIGNS HAVE BEEN FULFILLED. SEARCH TO ASCERTAIN WHOM THE BIBLE HAS SPOKEN OF, WHICH HAS BEEN MADE MANIFEST IN THIS LIFE. THE BIBLE IS THE ONLY REFERENCE POINT THAT WILL GUIDE YOU PROPERLY. YOU SHOULD REALIZE THAT WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ACADEMIC ATTAINMENT, ACADEMIC KNOWLEDGE, IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE STATURE OF A HUMAN BEING. IT HAS TO DO WITH THE SPOKEN WORD, THE PROPHECIES AS LAID DOWN IN THE SCRIPTURES. Brethren, Our Lord Jesus Christ has told His disciples, I HAVE YET MANY THINGS TO SAY UNTO YOU, BUT YE
CANNOT BEAR THEM NOW, BUT HOWBEIT, WHEN HE, THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH IS COME, HE SHALL GUIDE YOU INTO ALL TRUTH, FOR HE SHALL NOT SPEAK OF HIMSELF. WHATSOEVER I HAVE SAID UNTO YOU, THAT WILL HE SPEAK, HE SHALL GLORIFY ME." That is what is happening today, you do not need the soothsayers, to tell you what has happened because all the things HE had taught us, all the things he had envisaged of this time and prophesied about have been fulfilled. Before this time, you never knew that it is sinful to quarrel, to fight, to steal, to commit fornication, to indulge in idolatry and diabolism. You never knew that all these things were sinful but today, it has been so well explained and expatiated upon, and expanded to you and you have understood that THE WORD OF GOD IS
POWER, THAT IN THE WORD OF GOD YOU FIND WISDOM. IF YOU TAKE THIS GOSPEL SERIOUSLY AND PRACTICE IT, YOU WILL FIND THE SALVATION YOU HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR AND ALL THE PROBLEMS ON YOUR WAY WILL BE SOLVED.
THE WORD OF GOD IS THE PIVOT: There is one of our spiritual choruses which says the Holy Spirit is the life and the source of life for all God's people. It is everything for every man. And this explains why you are told that it is only with the Holy Spirit that you can be saved. The word of God is the pivot on which every other thing revolves. This is why I give it to you daily. YOU ENCOUNTER PROBLEMS BECAUSE YOU DOWN PLAY THE IMPORTANCE OF THE WORD OF GOD. You do not listen, you do not hear, you do not understand, because you lack concentration. That is why you cannot experience peace
and progress in your life. If you observe carefully, you will understand that the teachings as contained in the Bible is given to you without adulteration. WE DO NOT USE
CANDLES, BURN INCENSE, OR USE ORCHESTRAL INSTRUMENTS FOR OUR WORSHIP. NOBODY HAS EVER BEEN ASKED TO GO TO A CERTAIN MOUNTAIN SO THAT ONE OR TWO THINGS COULD BE DONE. YOU ARE NOT ASKED TO GROW A WILD BEARD AND LOOK LIKE A PREHISTORIC MAN, YOU ARE NOT ASKED TO OFFER SACRIFICES AT SOME STRANGE PLACES. WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE IS THE WORD OF GOD WHICH IS GIVEN TO YOU AT ALL TIMES. ***HAVE I EVER TOLD YOU TO GO AND BUILD A HOUSE FOR GOD? YOUR DESIRE AND LUST FOR MATERIALISM CAUSE YOU TO DERAIL FROM THE PATH OF RECTITUDE. The way you yearn for the things of this
world, the fornication you commit, the diabolical practices you indulge in, the fetish things, the charms, the amulets you gather for yourselves are the causes of your problems. AND THAT IS WHY YOU ARE ASKED TO LISTEN ATTENTIVELY TO THE GOSPEL OF GOD, CONCENTRATE ON THE WORD OF GOD AND MAKE USE OF THE WORD OF GOD. I HAVE OFTEN TOLD YOU THAT GOD DWELLS IN THE HEARTS AND MINDS OF MEN. HE STAYS WITHIN THE MIND. BUT SOME PERSONS HAVE UNDERTAKEN THE ASSIGNMENTS WHICH THEY THINK IS MUCH MORE IMPORTANT, LIKE BUILDING CATHEDRALS. OF WHAT USE IS A CATHEDRAL TO GOD? GOD DOES NOT DWELL IN ANY EDIFICE BUILT BY MAN, HE DWELLS IN THE HEART AND MIND. SO WHEN YOU BEGIN TO DISTURB PEOPLE THAT
FEAST, DONATE TO CHARITY, ETC., WHICH IS NOT THE BASIC THING. THE BASIC THING AND PRIMARY REQUIREMENT IS TO FORSAKE SIN AND ACCEPT THE WORD OF GOD.
2ND BIBLE WITNESS: JOHN 5:30 I can of my ownself do nothing; as I hear I judge: and my judgement is just; because I seek not my own will but the will of the Father which hath sent me. HEARKEN TO THE HOLY SPIRIT: BRETHREN, HAVE YOU HEARD THAT YOU MUST AT ALL TIMES LISTEN TO THE SPIRIT OF GOD? THIS IS BECAUSE IF YOU LISTEN AND HEARKEN TO THE HOLY SPIRIT YOU WILL HAVE NO PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER. If you come in here and the spirit directs that you should donate N200.00 do exactly that. However, why you all will fail is that when you examine yourself, your personality, stature, and position in society, you feel you should go beyond bound, you feel you should maintain your status quo. By thinking along this line, you bring the flesh into reckoning, and you denigrate the Spirit which is God. I want you to understand that as far as the spirit is concerned, His decision and instruction lead to eternal life. You all have heard about David, one of the kings of Israel, who having realized the power of God endowed in him, decided to build a cathedral, and God instructed him against it, that he should not do it because his hands were soiled with blood. God asked David to allow His son Solomon to erect the Cathedral and he obeyed. I always laugh when you claim to have done anything in this kingdom because you cannot do anything on your own
volition. It is the spirit that directs everything in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. IT IS BECAUSE OF THE IMPORTANCE OF THE WORD OF GOD WHICH IS THE SPIRIT AND THE IMPORTANCE OF THE INSTRUCTIONS THAT ARE GIVEN BY THE SPIRIT, THAT WHENEVER YOU COME HERE, I EXPOUND TO YOU WHAT THE HOLY SPIRIT DIRECTS: HIS NORMS, HIS PRACTICES, THE STANDARD THAT MUST BE KEPT, I TELL YOU ALL THINGS ALWAYS BUT YOU ALWAYS DRAW YOUR CONCLUSIONS. Some of you would say, "Today's gospel is for me. Others would say Today's preaching is for me, and you keep claiming the gospel is for you, but have you ever made any attempt to practice the teachings? I DO NOT WANT ANYTHING FROM YOU APART FROM LISTENING TO MY TEACHINGS AND PRACTICING SAME. THIS IS BECAUSE YOUR SALVATION LIES IN PRACTICING MY TEACHINGS. WHEN YOU GO CONTRARY TO MY TEACHINGS, YOU HAVE YOURSELF TO BLAME. The Golden Text should be read. GOLDEN TEXT: JOHN 13:34-35 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples if ye have love one to another. LOVE IS THE WATCHWORD: Brethren, have you heard what is read out to you? As Our Lord Jesus Christ loves all of us, we are also expected to love other people, so that anybody who sees us will know that we are the children of the New Kingdom, that we are the disciples of Christ and we are with Him. THIS IS WHY OUR GOSPEL HERE HINGES ON LOVE AND THERE IS NO
OTHER PERSON WHO WILL TELL YOU TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER EXCERPT OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WHO LOVED YOU FIRST. So I want you to realize that this love has nothing to do with all the sinful life that people have been leading. IT HAS TO DO WITH FORSAKING SIN COMPLETELY AND ABIDING BY THE PROMPTING OF THE NEW COMMANDMENTS OF GOD WHICH BRING YOU ETERNAL LIFE. YOU HAVE HEARD THAT IF YOU DO NOT LISTEN TO, HEAR AND PRACTICE THE PROMPTINGS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, YOUR SINS IN THIS GENERATION AND IN THE ONE TO COME WILL NOT BE FORGIVEN YOU. NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO, NO MATTER THE LEVEL OF YOUR GENEROSITY, IF YOU DO NOT LOVE EVERY ONE EQUALLY, AS INSTRUCTED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, ALL THAT YOU ARE DOING IS NULL AND VOID. I want you to realize that love is the cardinal teaching that must be vigorously pursued, obtained, and practiced by all of us across the board, even as one of our spiritual choruses says,"A new commandment I have brought, abide in love with one another and avoid strife and anger." The second which is rendered in English says:" The covenant is gone, the covenant of Moses, Love has come as the new covenant." I am bringing all these examples to show you the importance of love and how you are expected to express it to everybody because it is that which Our Lord Jesus Christ taught. Let everybody therefore embrace it and express it freely. I do not want to be tedious unto you, he that has ears, let him hear. May God bless His Holy Words. Amen. THANK YOU HOLY FATHER.
TEXT: REVELATION CHAPTER 19:1-END Brethren, the Scripture is fulfilled in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. It was long foretold by Our Lord Jesus Christ that when the Comforter-The Holy Spirit- will come, He will lead you unto the accurate knowledge of the truth. Today, that Comforter is here, teaching and leading all creation to all the truth. Welcome Bible Class students. Sometimes people of the world ask you to show them the name of the Leader O.O.Obu in the Bible, and you become humiliated and defeated, because you cannot support yourself with quotations from the Bible. However there are many portions in the Bible containing prophesies about the name of the Promised Comforter when He manifests in the flesh to lead, teach and judge all His creation. It is the Father's pleasure to show you these portions in the Bible and what was written about His garment dipped in blood. THE SAVIOR WITH RED VESTURE: There is a spiritual chorus that says: "We have One clothed in a vesture dipped in blood and His name is a savior."Let us read from the Holy Bible,the book of Genesis Chapter 49, verses 8-11: "Judah, thou art he whom thy
brethren shall praise: thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father's children shall bow down before thee. Judah is a loin's whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up? The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be. Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass's colt unto the choice vine; he washed his garment in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes." APPLICATION: To whom does this portion of the Bible refer? Was the
This portion proves beyond all reasonable doubts that the revelation of Leader O.O.Obu was foretold before the foundation of the world. Christ was not
garment of Our Lord Jesus Christ dipped in blood? clothed in garments dipped in blood. When the people of the world ask you where the name of Leader O.O.Obu is written in the Bible, refer them to this statement. It is said that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every matter is established. Read from the book of Isaiah Chapter 63, verses 1-5: "Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save. Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat? I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled
upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment. For the day of vengeance is in my heart, and the year of my redeemer is come. And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me." From the foundation of the world, have you ever seen or heard of any human being clothed in garment dipped in blood(red garment)? Have you heard and understood that question asked in the opening verses of Isaiah's prophesy? "Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments, glorious in his apparel; travelling in the greatness of his strength? I THAT SPEAK IN RIGHTEOUSNESS AM MIGHTY TO SAVE." In all your visions and dreams, in all clairvoyant devices, have you ever come across a man in red garment or in a vesture dipped in blood? When you were in the world, did you ever come across an angel or spirit in such and apparel? WITH THAT RED GARMENT ON ME I AM OMNIPRESENT, OMNIPOTENT, AND OMNISCIENT. WAS JESUS CHRIST OMNIPRESENT? HE DID THE WORK AS A SON, ONLY TO BE SEEN WHEN HE MOVED FROM PLACE TO PLACE. BUT IN MY CASE, I AM SEEN LAVISHLY EVERYWHERE AT THE SAME SECOND, WHILE I REMAIN HERE PHYSICALLY. Read Revelation Chapter 19, verses 12-13: "His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called the Word of God." WHO IS THIS MAN? MY GARMENT REVEALS MY DEITY. BUT WHO IS THIS
MAN WHOM THE BIBLE SPEAKS ABOUT FROM GENESIS TO REVELATION? ONE THAT IS "MIGHTY TO SAVE AND HE IS CLOTHED IN RED GARMENT? HE IS NO OTHER THAN LEADER O.O.OBU. HAVING KNOWN ABOUT THIS NEW NAME AND THE TRUTH SURROUNDING IT, WHY DO YOU CONTINUE TO EXPRESS DOUBTS? IN THE WHOLE WORLD, IT IS THE NAME OF LEADER O.O.OBU ALONE THAT IS MIGHTY TO SAVE. IT IS THE ONLY NAME FOR WHICH ALL OF GOD'S CREATION, INCLUDING THE ANGELS, SPIRITS, DEMONS, MERMAIDS,THUNDER, AIR, FISHES, ANIMAL, TREES, ETC. MUST BOW TO. Now if you see a man in a red garment or soutane, would you easily recognize him because of his apparel? MAKE NO MISTAKE, SUCH A PERSON MUST BE OMNIPRESENT, OMNIPOTENT, AND OMNISCIENT, AND MIGHTY TO SAVE. There is no event in the world that had not been prophesied about in the Bible. The authenticity of Gods prophetic words is confirmed in Luke Chapter 21 verse 33: "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away." You can imagine the number of years since the red garment or vesture dipped in blood was prophesied about in the books of Genesis, Isaiah and Revelation, and until its fulfillment in OUR DAYS. Since the death and resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ and his ascension into heaven, it is now one thousand, nine hundred and seventy nine years. The whole world and you have been reading the Bible, but you have not noticed those portions. GO AND TELL THE WHOLE WORLD, INVITE THEM TO COME AND SEE THE ONE THAT WAS WRITTEN ABOUT, THE ONE CLOTHED IN VESTURE DIPPED IN BLOOD.
THE PROMISED COMFORTER: Concerning this present generation, the Bible states in 1st Thessalonians Chapter 5, verses 1-5: "But of the times and seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you: For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord cometh as a thief in the night; for when they shall say, peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child, and they shall not escape: But ye brethren, are not in darkness that, that day should overtake you as a thief: ye are all the children of light and the children of day: we are not of night, nor of darkness." When the children of this kingdom greet their fellow brethren by saying `Peace,' they will react by saying, go away with your peace.' What sort of peace, when fire, sickness, poverty, hatred, division,lawlessness,imprisonment,frustration,and insecurity are their watch words daily.
THE ONLY AUTHORITY AND TEACHER FOR THE WHOLE WORLD IS THE HOLY SPIRIT, THE PROMISED COMFORTER,
WHOM THE WORLD DOES NOT KNOW. HE IS THE ONLY AUTHORITY TO DIRECT AND TEACH THOSE SEEN AND UNSEEN. Look up in the Bible, John Chapter 14:26: "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you."THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE COMFORTER, THE ONE WITH A VESTURE DIPPED IN BLOOD IS DOING TODAY IN YOUR MIDST.
Many of you were members of different churches and other forms of worship, some of you belonged to secret societies, but when the Comforter arrived, he called you into this kingdom. Of course, back there in your former denominations, you did not see the Comforter face to face. But today you have seen Him. Nothing was taught about Him there, and the Comforter revealed nothing to you at that time as He is doing now. Were you led to the accurate knowledge of the truth? When you were burning candles and incense, drumming and clapping hands in search of power? The Comforter was not your Teacher, Master, and Leader then. Of course you fasted and grew long beards like Elijah and Moses, yet you did not see the Comforter and your problems were not solved. Your bishops, reverend gentlemen, pastors, cardinals and popes were unable to solve your day to day problems. When your fasting and prayers could not solve your problems you decided to go to the hospital for drugs, injection, and tablets. You consulted oracles and looked for prepared charms, concoction for your protection. Were your infirmities healed both bodily and spiritually? How is it today? The Comforter speaks only a word and whatever your problems were, they are taken away immediately, on the spot. Do you not say that such a healing work is not of God but that of Beelzebub today? However, when there is a turning back to Him, He forgives and accepts you. ONCE YOU BELIEVE AND ACCEPT THE COMFORTER, NOTHING IN THIS WORLD HAS DOMINION OVER YOU. NOT EVEN THE SPIRITS, OR ANGELS OR MEN. YET WITH THIS HOPE, MANKIND HAS REFUSED TO EMBRACE THIS WITH JOY, BUT IN ITS IGNORANCE CALLS THE COMFORTER A MAGICIAN AND A HUMAN BEING.
Our Lord Jesus Christ bore witness about the Comforter when He said: "The Comforter that the Father will send in my name, He will teach all things and lead you to the accurate knowledge of the truth." You are not told that the seminaries in London, America, India, Rome etc. are the ones to teach you. Has it ever been prophesied that a man, angel, or spirit shall teach you? Today you may boast of degrees obtained in theological institutions of this world. Were you awarded those degrees by the Comforter or by Our Lord Jesus Christ? Did our Lord Jesus Christ bear witness about your teachers? Many people conclude that the Holy Spirit ended with the Apostles on the day of Pentecost and that such power does not exist today. Why? Because with their carnal wisdom they sought for the Comforter and could not find Him. The Holy Spirit is in your midst doing His wonderful works as was ordained by God. In John Chapter 16,verses 12-15, our Lord Jesus Christ emphasized the teaching program of the Comforter - the Holy Spirit: "I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when He, the Spirit of truth is come, he will guide you into all truth: for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak, and He will show you things to come. He shall glorify me: for He shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that He shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you." THE TEACHINGS OF JESUS CHRIST: Brethren, is there any time that I have taught you anything of myself? All that you are taught here is about our Lord Jesus Christ; what he did is what we are doing today.
Where in the world have you seen people gathered every Wednesday to celebrate the past events of Our Lord Jesus Christ? In Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, we celebrate the last supper just as Christ did with his disciples. We
watch and pray till 3 a.m. when our Lord Jesus Christ was arrested. We dismiss from the vigil at 3 a.m. for it was at
this time that the disciples scattered when their Master was arrested. Can you mention one man on earth who teaches exactly what Our Lord Jesus Christ taught? Mention any church in the world that teaches exactly what our Lord Jesus Christ taught? Can you point to a portion in the Bible where Our Lord Jesus Christ lit a candle, and incense, sounded drums and cymbals, clapped hands, or used drugs on the sick or referred any sick one to the hospital? Now I ask you, the so called Christians who perform these things, who do you think is their teacher and leader? Our Lord Jesus Christ said," When the Comforter will come, he will not speak of Himself but will give all glory to Him (Our Lord Jesus Christ). Do the teachings of Christendom give glory to God and His Christ? Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is not a church or a society but Christ Universal SPIRITUAL School of Practical Christianity. A place where the teachings of Our Lord Jesus Christ are taught, WHERE NO ONE ELSE IS CALLED FATHER EXCEPT OR FATHER WHO IS IN HEAVEN. BUT TODAY DO THE PRIESTS NOT CALL THEMSELVES REVEREND FATHERS? IN THIS WAY THEY PORTRAY THEMSELVES AS REBELS AND ANTI-CHRISTS. Today, churches of Christendom address our Lord, Master, Savior, Redeemer "Jesus." What an insult and abuse on the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. In the Universal Spiritual
School of Practical Christianity, the Holy Spirit teaches us to call Him Our Lord Jesus Christ." All the miracles and mighty works performed in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star are carried out by the Father Himself, the Son and the Holy Spirit, and ALL GLORY AND HONOR BELONG TO HIM ALONE. PRAYERS MUST BE THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST: Whenever you want to request anything from the Holy Spirit, all supplications must be through Our Lord Jesus Christ. Our Lord Jesus Christ is the door keeper. If one professes not to know Christ, such a person fails woefully.
OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IS MEDIATOR OF THE NEW COVENANT,THE KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS, THE SOLE SPIRITUAL HEAD OF THE UNIVERSE.
The pattern of praying in Brotherhood is peculiar. For God is not a God of confusion, therefore all things are done decently and in order. When you want to pray, you must start thus: "Let thanks, praises, dominion and power be ascribed
to God, in the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Let thanks, praises, dominion, and power be ascribed to God in the blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Let praises, majesty, dominion, power and wisdom be ascribed to God now and forever more."
When you want to give out vision, testimonies, dreams and prophesies, you must start thus:"In the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ, in the blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ Jesus Christ. Now and forever more-Amen." During the sojourn of Our Lord Jesus Christ on earth, no one received the Holy Spirit. Remember how he told his
disciples to wait at Jerusalem until they be clothed with the Holy Spirit? This was the promise He made. TODAY DO I TELL YOU TO GO AND WAIT AT JERUSALEM? Read John Chapter 16, verses 7-11: "Nevertheless, I tell you truth: It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you. And when He comes, He will reprove the world of sin and of righteousness and of judgment: Of sin because they believe not in me; of righteousness, because I go to my Father and ye see me no more. Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged." THE IMPACT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT: Can you imagine a man without form or comeliness remaining in a corner and the whole world is shaking because of his presence? What then is your opinion on the statement of Christ in John 16:7-11? He said:"If I do not go away, the Holy Spirit will not come. But, if I go away, the Holy Spirit will come and teach you, and lead you to the accurate knowledge of the truth."
FROM THE TIME OF ADAM UNTIL NOW, HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF A MAN WHOM PEOPLE DO NOT SEE IN FLESH BUT IMPLICIT FAITH AND CONFIDENCE IS EXPRESSED IN HIM? I AM REFERRING TO A MAN WHO REMAINS IN A PARTICULAR PLACE BUT HE IS SEEN UNIVERSALLY.
Open your Bible and read John Chapter 3 verses 25-27: "Then there arose a question between some of John's disciples and the Jews about purifying. And they came unto John and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with you beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold the same
baptizeth, and all men come to him. John answered and said, "A man can receive nothing, except it is being given him from heaven." WHO AMONG MEN CAN DO WHAT I AM DOING NOW? IS THERE ANY GOVERNMENT, CHURCH ORGANIZATION, SOCIETY, ANGEL,OR SPIRIT THAT CAN DO THESE WORKS? THIS IS A PROVEN FACT THAT THE ONE WRITTEN ABOUT IS NOW IN YOUR MIDST. BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR HAD BEEN IN EXISTENCE BEFORE ADAM AND EVE WERE CREATED. LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU HAD EXISTED BEFORE THE WORLD WAS FORMED. Shall we read John Chapter 4 verses 20-25: "Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say that Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. Jesus said to her:"Woman believe me the hour cometh when ye shall neither in this mountain nor yet at Jerusalem worship the Father. Ye worship ye know not what ye worship: for salvation is of the Jews. But the hour cometh when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship Him. God is a spirit and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth. The woman saith unto Him, I know that the Messiah cometh, which is called the Christ: When He comes He will tell us all things." This portion of the Bible applies to Brotherhood of the Cross and Star or Christ Universal Spiritual School of Practical Christianity. Why should the world be in a rage that a new church has been established? All the churches of Christendom, pagandom and heathendom use candles and burn incense, they invoke spirits, take drugs, injections, use charms and concoctions, perfumes, and consult spirit
mediums, etc. It is only Brotherhood of the Cross and Star that does not do any of those things mentioned. It is not an imported form of worship. May we read 2nd Timothy 3:1-6 so that you may truly have a picture of the present system of things: "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lust. " Do not forget this little point, people having a form of godliness but attributing falsehood to its powers. Do the so called Christian churches of Christendom not deny the power of the Holy Spirit today and term it to be that of Beelzebub? DIFFERENCE IN WORSHIP: The world and the much talked about church-goers are lovers of alcoholic drink and soft drinks. They love music, fornication, and adultery, night clubs, and luxurious living. If any person preaches against these things, they immediately would leave such a preacher, or that he is transferred to another congregation. The worldly people profess to know Our Lord Jesus Christ, but by their actions, they deny Him completely. Look up Titus Chapter 1 verse 16: "They profess that they know God but in their works they deny Him, being
abominable and disobedient and unto every good work reprobate," SINCE BROTHERHOOD IS FOUNDED ON THE TEACHINGS OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, MEMBERS DO NOT DRINK ANY WINE, ALCOHOL OR OTHERWISE. THEY WORSHIP GOD IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH. John 15: verse 12: "This is my commandment that ye love one another as I have loved you." It is love that prevails in Brotherhood of Cross and Star. The aim and objective of Brotherhood is to love one another. The whole world bear witness of the wonderful things they see in this kingdom of God. THE GOD-GIVEN COMMISSION FOR THE MINISTRY: Read 2nd Timothy 4 verses 1-4: "I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ who shall judge the quick and the dead at His appearing and His Kingdom, preach the word: be instant in season and out of season: reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lust shall heap to themselves teachers having itching ears; And they shall turn their ears away from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables." You can see the fulfillment of the above passage of the Bible in this generation, yes, in the churches of Christendom. They accumulate teachers to teach them, those from seminaries with many degrees, to hate, fight, quarrel, fornicate, drink, sue people to court, people who discriminate, teachers who do not practice what they preach. Our Lord Jesus Christ promised to send a Comforter who will teach and lead us to the accurate knowledge of the
truth. The fancy preachers of Christendom graduate without the Holy Spirit, and as such cannot teach, heal or change any sinner to righteousness. Matthew 23 verse 8, says:"But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren." Who in the whole world believes and accepts that all mankind are brethren? WE ARE BROTHERS AND SISTERS: There are some church-goers who do exhibit an indifferent spirit when you call them` brother or sister, and more so when you greet them by the Lord's method, peace.' Such ones will rebuke you and will not respond. These are still in ignorance and not knowing that all mankind descended from Adam and Eve and as such we are all brethren. Of course no one will teach you this truth except the Holy Spirit. Look up 1st. John Chapter 2 verse 27: "But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him." There you have it! It is only the Holy Spirit that must teach you and no one else. Who is this Holy Spirit? He is the Almighty God. Our Lord Jesus Christ said, I and my Father are one.' Christ is never separated from the Father. In John 10 verse 30, this oneness is confirmed: I and my Father are one.'
Who is the Father? Who then is the Son, and who is the Holy Spirit? John 1 verses 1-4 says: "In the
beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by Him; and without Him was not anything made that was made. In Him was life; and the life was the light of men." WHO THEN IS THE WORD? GOD IS THE WORD. CHRIST IS WORD AND THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE WORD. THEREFORE THEY ARE INDIVISIBLE. THE FATHER HAS COME; HE IS THE WORD, AND THE WORD BECOMES FLESH AND DWELLS AMONG MANKIND. THE WORLD HAS NOT RECOGNIZED NOR HAVE PEOPLE ACCEPTED HIM AS THE WORD. Was Christ not justified to say `I and my father are one?' WHO THEN IS IN YOUR MIDST TODAY? IS HE NOT THAT SAME WORD THAT WAS IN THE BEGINNING? ALL THINGS CAME FROM HIM. Now read 1st.John chapter 5, verses 7-8: " For there are three that bear record in heaven:THE FATHER, THE WORD, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THESE THREE ARE ONE. AND THERE ARE THREE THAT BEAR WITNESS ON EARTH, THE SPIRIT, THE WATER, AND THE BLOOD;AND THESE THREE ARE ONE." The water, spirit and blood are the make-up of a human being. If any of them is lacking in a person, that person is dead. Therefore, when God as the WORD, wants to become flesh, He takes blood and spirit and dwells among his creation as a human being. The Holy Spirit now in you consists of water, blood and spirit. That is why you have the senses to see Him as a human being. THE HEALING POWER IN BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR: Three things are used in healing in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. They are: Water, Holy Oil and the Word. The Holy Oil is the blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ. The Word is
God. Once these three things are applied to a sick person, he must become restored. That is why the fanatics term Brotherhood to be a magic church. Compare your body functions to that of a car: the car requires water, oil and petrol in order to operate and if any of these things is lacking, it may become damaged. So also is the body. The words that proceed out of the mouth of a Brotherhood on a sick person becomes water, blood and spirit; a healing and a soothing balm to the sick. The WORD becomes spirit and gives life to the dead, supplying all your requirements. Read John 3 verse 34: "For he whom God had sent speakest the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him." Our Lord Jesus Christ was sent here on earth as the Word. He became flesh and dwelt among men. During His baptism by John the Baptist, a voice came out from heaven saying: "This is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased, hear ye him." Did the world not kill him? Now the Father, Son and Holy Spirit has come in person, what would you say? ANOTHER GARMENT OF IDENTIFICATION: Shall we read Revelation Chapter 19 verse 8: "And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of the saints." The white garment or soutane used by those in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star signifies what? The garment signifies the godly virtues that they possess: love, peace, patience, humility, endurance, self-control, forgiveness, tolerance, meekness, righteousness, goodness, etc. Your actions at all times must be clean, fine, white, unspotted white. It must have no stain at all. Whenever a Brotherhood commits sin, this sin appears as a spot of stain
on the white garment. Any Brotherhood member who has been baptized, and he fails to put on the white garment, it means such one is still in sin, and he is a rebel. Whenever the angels find you committing sin and you have the white garment, they punish you.
WORD, WITH HIS NEW NAME, THE HOLY SPIRIT. ALL GLORY AND HONOR BELONG TO HIM ALONE. As you kneel and bow your heads in worship to Him, so do I even more than you do. Brethren, those who have ears to hear, let them hear. May God bless his Holy Words. Amen. THANK YOU HOLY FATHER.
